Gorgo

Drawing inspiration from the myth of the Gorgons, those ancient creatures with petrifying gazes, Flora Détraz explores various forms of monstrosity, working with deformation, disfigurement, and transformation in the body. The artist embraces the subversive power of laughter: uncontrollable laughter, explosive laughter, nervous laughter, mocking laughter, forced laughter, Machiavellian laughter, nervous laughter, grotesque laughter… With her unique physical language and striking visual universe, the choreographer offers us a visceral performance that questions our representations of the frightening and grotesque woman and attempts to deconstruct the archetypes of femininity to reveal raw strength and beauty.

Suitable for ages 12 and up – duration: 55 minutes.
